REPORT

This report presents an estimate of the people at risk of forced labor and the risk factors associated with the problem; and presents the results of the field research, which collected qualitative information from key informants and visits to certain farms or plantations. The report also presents the magnitude and characteristics of child labor, through the analysis of official information and field verification and description of the palm and cocoa production processes that incorporate children and adolescents in these activities. This study is the product of a consultancy commissioned from COMUNIDEC by the International Labor Office, and is linked to the expected results of the project "Building effective policies against child labor in Ecuador and Panama" (RLA 104) and the activities of El Plan Global de Acción Financiera.
